Car Accident

Filed Under: Family

Well Dustyn and I were in a car accident today. We had just eaten lunch with Kenny and were leaving the hospital. Our light was green and had been green long enough for 3 cars to go through the light and I was right behind them. So the lady that hit me, her light had been red (It wasn’t like it had just turned red). She admitted when she got out that she was looking at her daughter in the back seat and not at the road. As soon as I saw she wasn’t stopping I hit the gas. So it hit the door behind me and not my door. Thank the Lord! Dustyn was on the other side. So he wasn’t hurt, but he was very, very upset.
So I just want to put the word out if you have kids in your back seat please don’t turn to look at them. Pay attention to the road. If you need to do something with your kids pull to the side of the road. This ruined my (new to me) van, and my whole day. I am very sore. I had the baby’s heartbeat checked, but they said there is still a risk that the placenta could be torn, so if I have any cramping or anything I need to go to the emergency room. Please keep Dustyn, Baby #2 and me in your prayers that everything is okay and that everything will work out. Thanks so much!

    Thanks. Yea she was going full speed (speed limit is 45 there, so somewhere between 40 & 50mph I would say), she didn't even see the light at all. She spun me 180 degrees. I was on the gas from trying to avoid her and almost ended up hitting a light pole. She hit me so hard that it made my glasses fly off my face. I couldn't see and someone that stopped to see if we were okay found them for me. I am so thankful that I only ended up with a couple bruises, and Dustyn wasn't hurt at all, because it was a hard hit.

    Oh no!! I'm so sorry, Sarah! I hope everything's okay. That's exactly how I got in a wreck in high school (minus the kid in the backseat). A guy's light had been red for a while and he got sick of waiting and just went on red. Stupid, stupid stupid. Glad you're okay.
